1. The Korban Pesach - Sacrifice or Feast?

   Prof. Jonathan Grossman

   The Pessach God commands the nation to bring in Egypt includes various sacrificial elements - but one of the essential elements of a sacrifice - an altar - is absent.

Circumcision, the celebration of Passover, and the encounter with the angel serve as a preamble to the miraculous conquest of the first city in the land of Israel.

4. Pesach and the Feast of Matzot – Two Holidays Rather than One

   Rabbi Dr. Yoel Bin Nun

   In the Torah, Pesach (Passover) and the Feast of Matzot (Chag Ha-Matzot) are two connected holidays, rather than a single holiday that begins with the Paschal offering. But Pesach also appears in the Torah and in the Prophets on its own, without the Feast of Matzot, in various forms and sometimes even without a date, in the sense of miraculous rescue. Through a close examination of the text we can understand the relationship between these two aspects of the holiday and the crucial role that each plays.
